View Point: Heavy Seasonal Grazing on Central Arizona Piñon–Juniper Rangeland: Risky Business? Tolleson, Doug On the Ground • This piñon–juniper rangeland in central Arizona experienced heavy seasonal (late-spring/earlysummer) grazing, but with above average, welltimed and evenly distributed precipitation for the time of year; both cool- and warm-season native grasses recovered. • If this study had been conducted on rangeland that was typically more heavily grazed, and more susceptible to erosion, and done later in the growing season, the risk of exceeding targeted end-of-season grazing utilization would have been greater. • Planning for, or reacting to, grazing utilization that exceeds targeted levels should take site-specific risk factors into consideration.

Patch-Burn Grazing Effects on Cattle Performance: Research Conducted in a Working Landscape Winter, Stephen L.; Fuhlendorf, Samuel D.; Goes, Mark On the Ground • Patch-burn grazing is a range management strategy that might be able to simultaneously optimize livestock production objectives and wildlife habitat objectives. • We compared patch-burn grazing to a traditional range management strategy in multiple pastures, representing a variety of land ownership and management histories, dispersed across a relatively large geographic area. Our results likely represent what land managers could expect if they adopted patch-burn grazing in similar situations. • We found that cattle performance in pastures managed with patch-burn grazing did not differ from that found in pastures managed with a traditional range management strategy. This suggests that land managers who adopt patch-burn grazing in our study region might be able to maintain levels of cattle performance they are accustomed to. Simultaneously, they might also be able to achieve wildlife habitat objectives that might not have been possible with the application of traditional range management strategies. • More research and trials of patch-burn grazing in other regions and vegetation types will further help land mangers determine if patch-burn grazing is a range management strategy that could be useful when applied to their unique circumstances.
